五、阅读理解。
Honestly, I had never enjoyed reading science fiction novels until a friend of mine pressed a copy of The Three-Body Problem into my hands. “You’ve just got to read this novel!”
“But I have no interest in superheroes fighting aliens to save the world. I prefer real people dealing with real-life situations.”
“Exactly. That’s why I want you to read it.”
But, he was right. I fell in love with the book from the very beginning and finished it in only a couple of days. One reason why it was such a page-turner was Liu Cixin’s wonderful storytelling style. I especially liked his way of dealing with time. Most books are in the order of time, but The Three-Body Problem jumps back and forth. It starts back in history, nearly 60 years ago. Then, it jumps forward 40 years, when the characters have become elderly men and women, before jumping back again.
And the lives of Ye Wenjie and Wang Miao certainly kept me turning the pages. However, I also fell in love with this book because it was thought-provoking(发人深省的). Yes, there are aliens in it, but the theme of this story is life on the Earth and how we humans are destroying the planet. Real-world science, history and philosophy(哲学) are combined into this very attractive story. As a great sci-fi work, it sparks(激发) interest in science, and it makes readers think.
The Three-Body Problem has enjoyed great popularity worldwide. It’s no surprise then that it has been adapted(改编) into a TV series. I didn’t like this idea. Books often lose a lot of their value when they are made into TV series. Books are slow. You need patience to understand what is going on. The TV series moves much faster. It is packed with action and cool characters. Young people are often more interested in what they see on their screens than in the stories and their messages. However, some of you may be too young to fully understand books like The Three-Body Problem. A good TV series may help you to become a better reader and greatly encourage you to read more widely. But once you do fall in love with reading, you will realize that it is a good book, not a TV series that will be your friend for life.
